2020 Nevada & Mojave ghost towns and mines

[Ray Dunakin]

My 2020 trip to explore ghost towns and mining camps of Nevada and the Mojave desert was an incredible experience! I'm currently working on the many videos from the trip, featuring numerous historic sites as well as some stunning scenery and wildlife. Here's a little preview of what's to come.

There's some really nice shots in there.
When you speed the footage up you might want to add a stabilization otherwise all the wobbles in the flight are exaggerated and made much more obvious e.g. @ 0:16 and 0:49

I'd also trim the shot @ 0:36 to end before the drone motion stops, the way it's cut makes it _very_ obvious it's drone footage.

Not sure I approve of spooking and chasing the wildlife @ 0:28 . The next shot of horses is great and a better distance imho.

Thanks for the tips! The wobbles in the accelerated footage bothered me too, but it never occurred to me to use stabilization.

The antelope was already running, the drone just joined him.

Superior trip! Can't wait for the whole story!

 

[Drumsagard]

Looks amazing! (the wobbles didn't bother me too much). Look forward to seeing more. Actually reminds me of a trip my wife and I took from Las Vegas to Death Valley, a stunning country!

Too much chop and change, with landscape video you need to slow things down and let the eye wander around the scene. Stability, as others have mentioned, is key in video shoots otherwise it is very jarring, especially when speeded up.

No criticism, just constructive advice from too many years in broadcast TV.

It really didn't bother me much - I enjoyed the video. Of course, we can always improve our craft.

Thanks, I'm always open to constructive criticism.

Nugget Mine, CA 2020

In this video I check out a former miner’s cabin hidden in a remote canyon of the Mojave desert. This amazing cabin has been well-maintained and apparently still sees frequent use. This was the second site I visited during my 2020 Nevada & Mojave trip

I really enjoyed this and thank you for sharing. You did a very good job on it. It's one of the reasons I bought my first drone.

Lost Steers Mine, NV 2020

Come along as I visit a fascinating cinnabar (mercury) mine on a mountain peak in Nevada. This mine features an unusual ore bin and two-levels of trestles, built on a rocky cliff. I spent the second night of my trip near this mine and got some spectacular time-lapse shots of the night sky.
